What measure is an Underage

While it is of course a bit obvious that 6 or 10 is underage, what is the lower measure allowed on the site to not be considered underage?

While most countries make it illegal sexual images of women under 18, the age of consent varies, and with it the age you could write about probably does too. The most common age of consent under 18 is 16, Japan seems to allow 14, last I checked my own country was 12, which surprised me, not taking it in consideration but thought important to mention.

Either way my point is, at what age is it allowed to be written about without breaking the "no underage sexual content" rule? (I did search the archives, but could not find it. At best I found someone asking the same thing on Archive5, but it seems to have gone unanswered for them too.

Adding Images

Hey, I'm not sure if I'm asking in the right format, but is there no way to add an image in pages anymore? I tried the method in the tutorial of adding a link but all I get is a captcha circle. Sorry again if this question is in the wrong area/format!

Edit - If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to send me a link to one of these new pages? So that I can hopefully replicate it? But if you're busy don't worry about it, I'll keep an eye out myself :)

Ban Tr0ll

Hey Plat, just wanted to tell ya that the user Tr0ll seems to have just redone his spam on the main page and who knows where else. That includes your talk page. I've been trying to reverse it wherever I can, but unless this person is banned, they'll likely just keep doing this nonsense.

Edit: Currently working on getting some of the conversations that were deleted from this page into the Archive 8 page and keeping some of the more recent stuff back on this page. I tried to just undo the troll's post, but got hit with the external link error.

Alternative home for Smutty?

Do you have Smutty Sex Romp up on a different site, P? If not, have you considered relocating? Anedwcan 13:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

-

I looked a little further into that Miraheze wikifarm Durzan recommended; seems like they might actually allow a site like this. The most similar (to CYOS) existing site I found was Star Wars Erotica Wiki (swew.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) (EDIT: and it's not so similar as I thought; it links to a separate CYOA style star wars erotica wiki, and I confused the two, but it's still a decent example of a markedly adult site hosted on the Miraheze platform). And a few years ago someone made a request for a Yiff wiki that was approved, so I can't see them turning down a CYOS style site (you can see the discussion about the Yiff wiki here-> meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive_2#Not_Safe_for_Work_Content_Policy.3F).

Main NSFW content rules seem to be that

1. Everything has to be legal in Netherlands, U.S., and U.K., (so rule 1 still stands, since underage sex stories are a legally grey area at best) and

2. No pornographic images of real people (drawings and 3D renders seem to be fine)

It's possible I've missed something else important in the Content Policy, so you might want to have a look at it for yourself (meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Content_Policy). Additionally, Miraheze is free and ad-free.

Regarding the transfer of stories, the 'import' function would almost definitely be available to Bureaucrats (MediaWiki permission defaults even let Admins use it). So moving Smutty Sex Romp and Rampage would be very possible, if time consuming (as only small xml files can be imported using 'import,' around 100 pages in size). I'll make another set of Smutty Sex Romp xml files suitable for transferring this way soon. I'd be happy to help you import them if you'd like.

I know you said you weren't considering relocating right now, but maybe some of this will be useful in the future. Seems like RobKohr has no plan to fix the issues any time soon (editthis.info/wiki/User_talk:RobKohr#Not_dead).

If you don't mind my asking, why are you so hesitant to relocate?

--Pickles (Talk) 17:34, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Oh, that makes sense. You were working on it quite a bit earlier this year though. I figured you'd stopped because of how ungodly slow the website has become, and I hadn't considered that you might have lost interest.

So far as my understanding goes, you'd still have plenty of ability to keep litter out on the other farm. If you create a new wiki on Miraheze, you'll have the Bureaucrat user rights. And it would be your wiki: you could write up the rules any way you wanted to, with even more power to enforce them. If you were to switch over, you would not have to worry about any loss of content moderating authority.

And trying it out has almost no risk. It's possible that they won't allow smut on their servers, and the worst case where they decide not to host the wiki, nothing really changes. We're just stuck on editthis, with one more possibilty ticked off the list.

Of course there is no real urgency as far as moving is concerned, but it would be great to read and edit Smutty (and any other stories that would be moved over) on a website that works. I'll stop buzzing in your ear about it, but please give Miraheze some consideration and let me know if you change your mind.

--Pickles (Talk) 02:22, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Am I doing this right?

I probably should have done a little more lurking before contributing to your story. Smutty Sex Romp is a wonderful work, and I wanted (want) to help add to it. Anyway, I might have jumped the gun a little. I made an account and added a few contributions before realizing Smutty Sex Romp was your work, and that you have perhaps higher standards than I can meet right now (knowing very little about creative writing, formatting a wiki, and whatnot). The first place I contributed was in your story, when I should've started in the sandbox.

I got a little carried away. Not that seven pages is insane, but I figured I should stop here and make sure what I've added is okay. It's easier to delete or fix seven pages than seventy (especially with the dial-up speed this site is running at). And since it's your story it's a-okay with me if you decide to delete all of my additions, no questions asked. I like what you've got going here, and I don't want to throw ants in your cereal.

--Pickles 06:00, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello again! I was looking through the Pages Requiring Attention, and all of them had a 'This database did not find the text of a page..." error message. I figured you'd deleted or moved them, but for whatever reason the category stuck. I blanked this one to see if that would remove the category stamp. Of course it did, but now the page doesn't have a category (which I've heard annoys you). I think I want you to delete Paladin/Caladbolg18 for me, if it's not too much trouble. Is it normal that moved/deleted pages keep categories like this, or is this something else?

I've been wondering about those maintenance reports as well. I don't want you to go out of your way if the answer is complicated, but do they work at all? The uncategorized pages and deadend pages reports would be handy if they actually updated.

Also, do you have a category for delete requests? I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask for them.

In any case, thanks for helping me out! --Pickles 17:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

P.S. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on my last message! I'm glad I've got your seal of approval. P.P.S. Is it just me or is the site loading faster today?

Found an ad

Netconnekt's user page is an ad. I saw you deleted the dubaitours thing, so I figure this sort of account is not allowed. --Pickles 01:09, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Reviewruk's user page is also an ad (and a fishy service if you ask me). I wonder if we're on some list of good wikis to advertise on. Interestingly enough, another company has made an account but not posted a link (yet). Lwayservice is a net dev company (akin to Netconnekt), but they didn't create any pages. --Pickles 03:41, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Woodframe's new page User talk:Woodframe is an ad. First paragraph is so deeply introspective that I almost didn't realise it was an ad. --Pickles 18:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Ingdarenth's user page is also an ad. Leonel Sohns 09:06, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Fivesdigital's user page is also an ad. Leonel Sohns 11:33, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Harrygood9898's user page is also an ad. Leonel Sohns 14:14, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Red Options

I'm not sure if it's been brought up before. I've been lurking for a little as an anon and wanted to start contributing to stories: some of which have red options nobody has fleshed out (in some cases for well over a year as far as I can tell). Do red options that haven't been written belong to the person, or are they free game to make into a page?

Fredhot16

Yo. I'm thinking of coming back to this website but not fully until I have something to write about. Just curious: what happened to the edit button on the Main Page?

Thanks for the deletes

Hi Platypus. Thanks for deleting the pages I blanked. I was about to ask if you would do that. :) (I assume you looked and saw I was the only contributor.) DirtyOldMan 20:43, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Having a problem creating an account

Hello. Obviously, I have an account on Create Your Own Story, but I want to create an account on the main editthis.info page. I keep trying, but the same thing happens every time. I put in the username and the password. I made sure that the passwords were the same. I did the captcha. But every time I go to create the account, I get an error message: "Could not open socket in ./common/recaptcha/recaptchalib.php". I don't know who else to tell about this, so here I am. If you don't know anything about this, then could you please tell someone else who does. Thank you.

Final touches to the Tutorial

Hello. I was poking around the wiki and noticed that the Tutorial needed a bit of a clean-up, so I've tried my best. Unfortunately, the page creation page is protected and there's something I think would be a very helpful addition. The addition and the edits I made are on the Tutorial Discussion, but feel free to change anything that you want. I figured you were the admin and might be able to edit the protected page. Thanks.

Adopting other Interactives from other sites

Hi. I been looking at the number of stories, both kid-friendly and XXX-rated and I been thinking of allowing other content from other sites, both dead or infinantus-haitus and allowing both the original creators and contributors from those sites to post here. I know of a couple of good adult-heavy interactives from that bully site Writing.com that would struggle but accept the transfer. Personally, this was my second-best interactive site before the wacko admin of Writing.com committed a free-user genocide and banned everyone else from entering the site, to mine crypto, I guess?

- TheGreenRaider 14:27, 26, Dec 2022(UTC)

Is this website dead?

Is there any consistent updates of storys and active members?

The link I changed didn't match up with the continuation of the the story path

Go find Jenny to apologize.

That's after he just agreed to only be with the daughter but the mom then rejected him in the same path so the two paths conflict?

Agree to Jenny's terms.

Is contradicts this path

Deny that you were looking at Jenny's cleavage.

Could you rename some pages

Hey, I was wondering if you could rename a few pages? Specifically I was wondering if you could rename these pages:Josh._An_18-year_old,_brown-haired_football_player, Miranda._A_17-year-old_brown-haired_girl, and Chelsea._The_36_yo,_blonde-haired_volleyball-playing_mother_of_the_3_kids_above.

Specifically I'd like them to be renamed by increasing the ages of Miranda and Josh by a year and change blonde-haired to brunette.

-I made some changes to links in The Story of Jack Foster, and all three links suddenly took the reader into Smutty sex Romp. I guess the author of that page, who doesn't seem to be active any longer, must have intended for this to happen, but it just seems really odd.
-Can you let me know your thoughts on this? I will change all the links back if you think I should, it just seemed like a mistake at first so I corrected one, then another. When I saw that the third link of the three on that page led there too, I thought i should check in with you...

Please add alot of new and exciting pages that relate to the topic, by myself I think I've added atleast 5 or more pages but I'm not even as close to as good as you in editing and adding plus one other reason is that it is not as fun when your the only user editing and adding to that story in which you have to create all the pages and when you read ten you already know what will happen.

The first place I contributed was in your story, when I should've started in the sandbox.
+I got a little carried away. Not that seven pages is insane, but I figured I should stop here and make sure what I've added is okay. It's easier to delete or fix seven pages than seventy (especially with the dial-up speed this site is running at). And since it's your story it's a-okay with me if you decide to delete all of my additions, no questions asked. I like what you've got going here, and I don't want to throw ants in your cereal.

-== Archiving The 'General Discussion' Page & Other ==
+:Hello again! I was looking through the '''[[:Category:Pages Requiring Attention|Pages Requiring Attention]]''', and all of them had a 'This database did not find the text of a page..." error message. I figured you'd deleted or moved them, but for whatever reason the category stuck. I blanked [[Paladin/Caladbolg18|this one]] to see if that would remove the category stamp. Of course it did, but now the page doesn't have a category (which I've heard annoys you). I think I want you to delete [[Paladin/Caladbolg18]] for me, if it's not too much trouble. Is it normal that moved/deleted pages keep categories like this, or is this something else?
-Like what you did with your own user talk page, perhaps you should do the same thing with the 'General Discussion' page.  It's got a ridiculous amount of subtopics on the page and most of them are dead. I'd like to use that page more often and maybe help people with their problems other than just you having to toil away being admin and all.
-Also, maybe we could have a 'Story of the Year Award'. The nominations for this award could include the stories that were featured in the year. There would be a separate page where people can vote for a story. Voting can be done by making pages called (( Voting: Nomination )) and people can just click on the page to vote, the amount of views that were done on that page will decide the winner. --[[User:Heyoeveryone|Heyoeveryone]] 23 October 2011
+:I've been wondering about those [[Special:SpecialPages|maintenance reports]] as well. I don't want you to go out of your way if the answer is complicated, but do they work at all? The [[Special:UncategorizedPages|uncategorized pages]] and [[Special:DeadendPages|deadend pages]] reports would be handy if they actually updated.
-:I'm in full agreement about the General Discussion page needing an archive.  I'd be happy to contribute towards making that a reality, too. [[User:JackalRobot|JackalRobot]] 19:38, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
+:Also, do you have a category for delete requests? I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask for them.
-::I decided to full-on go ahead and '''be bold''', so I did it.  Everything prior to 2010 is now in an [[Talk:Main Page/Archive1|archive page]].  If more discussions did take place on the General Discussion page, I can see a system that had archived sections divided by topic, e.g. an archive for questions about writing stories, an archive for questions about how to edit a wiki, an archive for promoting a particular story.  But that's the future, and I'll probably have cyborg bits by then.

-== Dating Site Ads ==
+P.S. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on my last message! I'm glad I've got your seal of approval.
+P.P.S. Is it just me or is the site loading faster today?
-I know you've probably noticed this by the time you read this, but some person changed the Main Page to some crappy dating site ad. Thankfully, I happened to go on about 45 minutes after this incident and switched it back to the previous addition. This is really starting to piss me off, the Dating Site Ads I mean. Just checking the recent changes now, I see two spam accounts that were just made, with one being the account responsible for doing the griefing on the site. Hopefully this rubbish can finally end. I don't know who is doing this, but one thing is for sure, they must be really bored. --[[User:Heyoeveryone|Heyoeveryone]] 9 October 2011

+--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] 01:09, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
-Apparently they are at it again, if I did it correctly I changed the main page back to your previous edit. It's amusing in a way because they actually think people looking for a choose your own adventure style text based site like this are doing to see some dating advertisements in "not-really English" and go like oh, let me check that out instead. I also updated two of the stories I have been working on for # of pages as they were out of date. --[[User:Rouge|Rouge]] November 18, 2011
+[[User:Reviewruk|Reviewruk]]'s user page is ''also'' an ad (and a fishy service if you ask me). I wonder if we're on some list of good wikis to advertise on. Interestingly enough, another company has made an account but not posted a link (yet). [[User:Lwayservice|Lwayservice]] is a net dev company (akin to Netconnekt), but they didn't create any pages.

-Hey Platypus, i've recently finished my last story (though, I need to read it over for grammatical errors), and I was thinking that I should, instead of making another story, I would perhaps make a reviewing area, if this works out well, this could increase publicity for stories which should be read, encourage writers to continue writing on this site, and also give writers constructive criticism (e.g. one choice stories).
+[[User:Ingdarenth|Ingdarenth]]'s user page is ''also'' an ad. [[User:Leonel Sohns|Leonel Sohns]] 09:06, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
-You should be asking by now, why are you asking me? Well, I already asked TheElderOnes, and he says it's a good concept, now i'm just here to ask you if you find it good as well.

-A few more questions, where does my review page go? I kind of don't want it to be in some section were no one would see it, since the whole point of this idea is to increase publicity for stories which should be more popular and of course, make consturctive criticisms about the writers story. Also, who are some people you would think are capable and willing to help me write the reviews? -- [[User:Heyoeveryone|Heyoeveryone]] 16:48 (AEST) 21 September 2011
+[[User:Harrygood9898|Harrygood9898]]'s user page is ''also'' an ad. [[User:Leonel Sohns|Leonel Sohns]] 14:14, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
-Maybe you could somehow mix them together. Say, add a third column, then add a link on the main page to all the reviews. The link could tell the reader how the reviews are done. -- [[User:Heyoeveryone| Heyoeveryone]] September 23 2011
+== Red Options ==
-Cool! Just tell me when you're ready. Though, I think that I may need help with this project. Since I can't play through every single story without becoming too stressed (I don't want this to become a 'real' job). Plus, I have some personal issues to attend to, so I cannot necessarily log in every day. So I'm suggesting that we should make a 'ad' for people willing to review, they can send you or me a message detailing why he or she should be allowed to review. Or, we can go a easier way and just make a 'user reviews' section. Then, if we find certain reviews that are of high quality, we just move it to the 'official reviews' section.
+I'm not sure if it's been brought up before. I've been lurking for a little as an anon and wanted to start contributing to stories: some of which have red options nobody has fleshed out (in some cases for well over a year as far as I can tell). Do red options that haven't been written belong to the person, or are they free game to make into a page?

+Yo. I'm thinking of coming back to this website but not fully until I have something to write about. Just curious: what happened to the edit button on the Main Page?

+Hi Platypus. Thanks for deleting the pages I blanked. I was about to ask if you would do that. :) (I assume you looked and saw I was the only contributor.) [[User:DirtyOldMan|DirtyOldMan]] 20:43, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
-All right. So, I've been plotting this big universe in which my stories occur, and after writing a certain story, I plan on finally writing a really big story that involves characters from all of the stories (and new ones, of course), meeting up and sh- stuff. But, what I had been planning is writing a little bit of a supplementary thing, bridging some of the events of the stories and connecting them before the real fun can begin.
+== Having a problem creating an account ==
-However, this would just be in a diary format, with "forward" and "backwards" options being on pages. Now comes my question - would it be cool if I did that as a separate story, or should I add it in as pages in the Elderpedia (this is my current idea)... I could, of course, do it on another site, but that's the least attractive option. The pages, if added to the Elderpedia would have a title that clearly defines them as part of the Elderpedia, but with a marker like "Elderpedia:BCDiary1" or something similar. Now that I'm ranting, I think it's simpler to end this here. Just wanted to get your opinion on this before going through with it. --[[User:TheElderOnes|TheElderOnes]] 12:00, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
+Hello. Obviously, I have an account on Create Your Own Story, but I want to create an account on the main editthis.info page. I keep trying, but the same thing happens every time. I put in the username and the password. I made sure that the passwords were the same. I did the captcha. But every time I go to create the account, I get an error message: "Could not open socket in ./common/recaptcha/recaptchalib.php". I don't know who else to tell about this, so here I am.

-Unrelated to the above question, but I don't want to clutter your page with headlines - Does this wiki have an IRC chat yet? It seems like it would, and a good amount of other wikis have their own. It'd be a good way for people to ask questions to each other, and could even lead to ideas for new stories. I dunno, I just think that this kind of thing would be interesting and was wondering if we already had one set up or not. --[[User:TheElderOnes|TheElderOnes]] 07:03, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
+== Final touches to the Tutorial ==
-Adding here for the same reason stated in my last message here. I saw your discussion with Heyoeveryone, and your ideas on the review page. I thought of a way you could combine them if you want, like the review page being separate like the featured story, as in your first idea, and then once a--[[User:TheElderOnes|TheElderOnes]] 22:42, 2 November 2011 (UTC) story is reviewed there, you could do a third column link to either the review page or the specific review.
+Hello. I was poking around the wiki and noticed that the Tutorial needed a bit of a clean-up, so I've tried my best. Unfortunately, the [[how_to_create_a_page|page creation]] page is protected and there's something I think would be a very helpful addition. The addition and the edits I made are on the [[Talk:Tutorial|Tutorial Discussion]], but feel free to change anything that you want. I figured you were the admin and might be able to edit the protected page. Thanks.

What I'm wondering is this: Do we have one that would do one for categorization warning, and if we don't, why not? It'd be quite useful, as there's someone getting warned for this very reason almost every day, where as the incomplete thing is maybe once a week or so, it seems. It'd be so easy to just thrown <nowiki>{{categorization}}</nowiki> on a page and have it tell them, and if someone wants to personalize the message or whatever, they could just type it in on their own.

+Hi. I been looking at the number of stories, both kid-friendly and XXX-rated and I been thinking of allowing other content from other sites, both dead or infinantus-haitus and allowing both the original creators and contributors from those sites to post here. I know of a couple of good adult-heavy interactives from that bully site Writing.com that would struggle but accept the transfer. Personally, this was my second-best interactive site before the wacko admin of Writing.com committed a free-user genocide and banned everyone else from entering the site, to mine crypto, I guess?

-== Revert, don't delete ==
+Specifically I'd like them to be renamed by increasing the ages of Miranda and Josh by a year and change blonde-haired to brunette.
-Hi Platypus,
-I might be new around here but coming from Wikipedia I'd like to offer some friendly advice: Feel free to revert changes you don't approve of. But do not wholesale ''delete'' contributions, especially from newcomers, if you want them to stick around.
+- [[User:v4n1ll4l0v3r|v4n1ll4l0v3r]]
-Why?
-Simple: reverted changes can still be found, edited, and thus - improved upon.
-Deleted pages can't be accessed by the newcomer, and thus they are probably lost (the nature of a wiki is such that you aren't really supposed to have to keep private copies of your contributions).
-So I have a deal for you, Platypus. If you use your administrative powers to restore the pages of mine you deleted, I promise to work with you in improving the language and correcting the POV issues. Do we have a deal? :)
-Cheers,

-Thanks again, and for changing the links on the other 2 pages so they link correctly again. :) -- [[User:Captain.Devonin|Cpt Devonin]]
-== Couple Questions ==
-Hi Platypus,
-Just got couple quick questions for you.
-) For the Pit of Abandoned Stories, what defines "a long while?" A month, two, three? I've been browsing some of the stories and I've found a handful with sub-10 pages and haven't been worked on since September (or later). I was considering moving them to the pit but I wasn't sure if 3 months was long enough, and if regular users like myself are allowed to move stories there.
-) In a similar vein, I notice there are like 6 red links on the main page. It looks like someone went to add a story but then never even bothered to write the first page. I was considering seeing how long some had been sitting there and if it had been a month, or longer, I was just going to remove them. Is that alright with you? Or is a month not long enough?
-) Is there a way to hide pages/keep them from the recent changes? I'm guessing not, but... figured I'd ask. I have another story idea but I'd prefer people not read as I'm writing it and just when I post it when I finish (which shouldn't take too long, I have this one planned out and its' only ~40-50 pages).
-Ultimately it probably doesn't matter, though. Someone will probably stumble on it while I'm writing. I just remember seeing something about a way you can mark stories (I thought it was using the 'mark as minor change' button but I still see those in the changes list) to keep them hidden.
-Also, if I am bugging you too much, feel free to hit me.
--- [[User:Captain.Devonin|Cpt. Devonin]]
-== Main Page Adjustments ==
-True enough, I didn't think about the vandals thing.
-And to maybe save you some legwork, I moved the following to the Pit:
-* [[The broken story of stupidness :P]] (14 pages but hasn't been worked on since 14 Sept 2011 and is... kinda bad.)
-* [[Castle Adventure]] (1 Page; Worked on Oct 12 2010)
-* [[After the Fire]] (1 Page, Oct 22 2010)
-* [[Chaos]] (2 Pages, March 7 2010)
-* [[Born to be Bad]] (8 Pages; June 9th 2010)
-* [[Artemis Fowl]] (7 pages; Sept 9 2010)
-* [[Antoinette's story]] (2 Pages; April 21 2011)
-* [[Adventure of a Half Blood]] (8 pages; Mar 11 2011)
-* [[Adventure Island]] (2 pages; April 5 2011)
-That is assuming the "last modified" date at the bottom of every page is the date it was last worked on (checked every page in each story to make sure there was nothing more current).
-I also removed all the redlinks on the main page from PG-13. My phone can't load the whole main page so I can only edit by section. I'll probably move some more when I find another 10 or so. If you'd rather I not mention anything here just let me know and I'll keep quiet in the future.
--- [[User:Captain.Devonin|Cpt. Devonin]]
-== How will i know if you created the story? ==
-Is there something that will show up or something? And, I'm sorry that I don't meet the expectations on your stories, and i won't add on to your stories anymore,  and you can go ahead and ban me, I won't get on for a while anyway, I have to get my computer screen fixed, my s button fixed, and a bug off my computer. Because of my screen, i can't see most anything i type, but, i deserve what you said, "Do not even try to contribute to any of my stories." So, bye. (By the way, i'm new to this, of course, so, if there are two of what i put down, or it doesn't turn out right, you can go ahead, and get pissed off) [[user:Luigi]]
